Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Re: Environment/Testing/Documentation

[Charles Whittington <chw scs co uk>]

... and your efforts - and your quick response to problems .. are very 
much appreciated, even by a nasty commercial person like me. Twenty 
years ago I might have been able to help you code but even my C++ is 
very thin indeed. Better at COBOL, FORTRAN, ALGOL68 and patching OS/360 
machine code!  I must look at the documentation projects again - perhaps 
that's more my line. 35 years at it so must be able to help somewhere! 
Sadly having to suspend my GM project again due to microphone apparently 
not functioning under linux and no time to learn the driver/module stuff 
..  will resume to plague you again shortly ..
